Just Me Right Now.: August 2011

Just Me Right Now. Sunday, August 28, 2011. Shine Your light so I can see You. Pull me up, I need to be near You. Hold me, I need to feel love. Can You overcome this heart that's overcome? It's then you find that fleeting moment of clarity and peace, knowing that this world is not what it was meant to be, but there is Hope. There is beauty in the brokenness, peace in the chaos, and love in this world of hate. And to live with Hope is the only way to live for all else under the sun is vanity. Corbin seems...

Just Me Right Now.: October 2011
http://justm3lissa.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Just Me Right Now. Saturday, October 1, 2011. Mark and I are the typical couple. And like a typical couple, I occasionally steal some of his big T-shirts when the ratio of clean to dirty laundry is getting off balance - which is quite often. But there's one shirt that I never wear. It's the one that says:. I walk because I have MS. But why he walks and why I walk are two different reasons. So I'm going to tell you why I walk. Here I was, just barely holding it together, the only thing keeping me moving w...

Just Me Right Now.: March 2012

Just Me Right Now. Thursday, March 8, 2012. The Less I Know. I've learned that there are no 5 steps to greatness, happiness, or fulfillment. And while my short-lived victories have me feeling on top of the world, that only means it's a longer fall down to pits-ville, HA! The present moment has become more and more important as I realize that I don't want to be chained by the past, and the future is promised to no one (no matter how great "my" plans are). I don't think so. Corbin is on his first field tri...

Just Me Right Now. Wednesday, September 7, 2011. Do The Next Thing. I read a great article. This morning which emphasized the importance of just doing the next thing. Not the endless "to-do" lists, or the unreachable quest of perfection, but only the next thing. This was just what I needed to hear this morning in week 3. Of homeschooling, therapy appointments, laundry, and Corbin's new school. My last two weeks have been awesome in some respects, and downright failures in others! There is no "finish line...

Just Me Right Now.: July 2011
http://justm3lissa.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Just Me Right Now. Tuesday, July 26, 2011. Even though we don't have school age kids, somehow I still get swept up in the busyness of summer that seems to overtake everyone this time of year. And apparently, since I haven't blogged in over a month, that affects my time to write here! One of the best parts was definitely how green. Everything was - so beautiful compared to our current landscape with the drought this year. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Enjoying the Small Things. News from the Rhineharts.

Just Me Right Now.: August 2013
http://justm3lissa.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Just Me Right Now. Tuesday, August 27, 2013. One of the things I love most about homeschooling, is the synergy you get when all your energy is focused toward a single goal - introducing my boys to Life . It's amazing how you can weave things together when you are the primary director of their education. Not that I need to be their sole resource for learning, but I am the one mapping out the best plan for them to learn and grow based on their individual needs and our family's beliefs. I love being able to...

Just Me Right Now.: June 2014
http://justm3lissa.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Just Me Right Now. Monday, June 9, 2014. This summer our church is doing a series called The Ten Commandments. The moment I heard what we were doing visions of Charlton Heston came to mind in the 1950s film - hours of my life sitting bored with my parents watching this movie as a little kid. By the way, this is not a review of the movie, any adult movie is boring to a six year old! I'm sure it's very good, and I should probably see it again as an adult. Sorry Brady) that people say. The point of this ser...

Just Me Right Now.: April 2012
http://justm3lissa.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Just Me Right Now. Friday, April 27, 2012. So, you may remember me writing a couple weeks ago about our failed plant project - lovingly named "Steve". As I predicted, my poor son ended up bringing a cup of dirt in for his final result. But, I watered and cared for that thing quite well, and NOTHING happened. Lucky for Steve, I'm a bit slow in throwing things away and in a miraculous turn of events, Steve has risen! And he's a twin! All this to say.VICTORY IS MINE! Monday, April 23, 2012. We are always in...

Just Me Right Now. Tuesday, February 18, 2014. Facebook.The Acceptable Form of Bragging. First off, don't get me wrong - there are LOTS of things I really enjoy about Facebook. It's wonderful to share happy moments with your friends, celebrate success, get encouragement during those down times, share some thoughts of wisdom, or keep in touch with friends and family. Those are all definitely not forms of bragging when done with the right intention. Yup, I said it, bragging. For instance, maybe I. Or reall...
